Rush Limbaugh is under fire for calling a Georgetown University law student who testified on Capitol Hill about contraception a “prostitute” and a “slut.”

“What does it say about the college co-ed Sandra Fluke, who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex? What does that make her?” Limbaugh said on his radio show on Wednesday. “It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex. What does that make us? We’re the pimps.”

The conservative radio host continued on to joke, “OK, so she’s not a slut. She’s ‘round heeled.’”

Fluke, a third-year student at Georgetown University Law Center, was a witness last week at an unofficial hearing of the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, convened by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), as a response to an earlier all-male panel hearing held by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The committee’s chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), had not allowed Fluke to testify at the original hearing, saying she was not qualified to do so.

Fluke explained at the hearing that as a student at a Jesuit campus that does not provide contraception, birth control costs can be as high as $3,000 during the time that she is in law school. She expressed opposition to a bill sponsored by Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) that would allow employers to avoid providing contraception for religious reasons.

“These exceptions don’t accomplish their well-intended goals, because when you let university administrators or other employers, rather than women and their doctors, dictate whose medical needs are legitimate and whose aren’t, a woman’s health takes a back seat to a bureaucracy focused on policing her body,” Fluke had said.

On his show Wednesday, Limbaugh suggested that the reason Fluke cannot afford birth control methods is because she is having too much sex.

“Can you imagine if you’re her parents how proud of Sandra Fluke you would be? Your daughter goes up to a congressional hearing conducted by the Botox-filled Nancy Pelosi and testifies she’s having so much sex she can’t afford her own birth control pills and she agrees that Obama should provide them, or the Pope,” he said, according to a transcript of his show.

“Well, I guess now we know why Bill Clinton went to Georgetown and why Hillary went to Wellesley,” he continued. “All the sex going on at Georgetown. Sandra Fluke. So much sex going on, they can’t afford birth control pills.”

Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat other people; before you tell me how much you love your God, show me in how much you love all His children; before you preach to me of your passion for your faith, teach me about it through your compassion for your neighbors. In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as in how you choose to live and give.

God don't like ugly! I mean what would Jesus do??? Repukes are so sad.. He gives humans a bad name. Fox should be asahmed for still airing him. He hurts the repukes!

Obviously, the cost of birth control is directly related to the amount of sex you have. If you have sex only once a month you need to take the pill only once, it's not as if birth control pills have to be taken every day no matter what.

I love the speech Stephen Fry once gave on the Catholic church and their obsession with sex. "the only people who obsess about weight are the anorexic and the obese, and that is the catholic church on sex in a nutshell." I suppose the same holds true fr Rush Limbaugh.

She can afford Georgetown Law School but she wants us to pay for her condoms and birth control pills, her sponge, her morning after pills, her dental dam, her God knows what else, I mean, $3000 a year is like almost $300 a month, what is this girl into, and can't her guy partners pop for a rubber or can't she stick to blow jobs?

If she wants bitch control, can't she just get an old TV Guide with Roseanne or Whoopi Goldberg on the cover?

Rush is an embarrassment to swine everywhere. It's just disgusting that he can outright LIE about someone and get away with it. And not only that, have his brainless minions defame the young lady on twitter, as well.

Have the facts before spouting ignorance. What did she want to testify about? Answer: Her friend, who couldn’t afford the birth control she was prescribed ($100/month) was refused insurance coverage for the medication, despite its medical necessity. Shortly thereafter, said friend developed a massive cyst on her ovary. She lost her ovary and now her ability to conceive has been jeopardized. And Ms. Fluke is called a slut for bringing this to light? Absolutely INSANE.

God bless Ms. Fluke for having the courage to speak out and refusing to be silenced.

What's even sadder is the people that make light of his comments. I hope she sues the shit out of him.

Don't expect the lieing SOBs to stick to the FACTS especially perverts like Rush who I'm sure is fine with his insurance paying for his viagra to get his useless, dead dick up but not for women who need it for a host of medical issues. As most Republicans are they seem to be suffering from vagina or penus envy.

I guess I must be a john, because I sure have been involved with a lot of sluts. I even married one. Shit, she must have been whoring on the side after we were married because she kept on taking the pill! OMG! I guess I better get paternity tests on the boys.

I'm not one to start innerweb fights, but I did tweet one individual who tweeted something vile at Ms. Fluke. I feel a lot better now. These people are seriously mentally incapacitated. They have no idea that facts exist. When you listen to propaganda on a daily basis, I guess you get defensive whenever a fact rears its ugly head.

Anyway, my red face has cooled. They are to be pitied. It's just a shame that there's 48 like-minded Senators, who basically called every woman a SLUT with their vote yesterday. (<-- Oops, that was politics. Only one thread for politics. My apologies). :razzz:

That's exactly what I was thinking. Rush Limbaugh has no understand of how the pill works, and he's such a wretched human being.

As for the people saying that they don't want their health insurance to pay for others birth control ... would you rather your insurance pay for their pregnancy bills, birth, and post-birth bills?!

Birth control is VASTLY cheaper than pregnancy and childbirth, which are things that insurance does pay for. Learn to use your brains!
